Thank you very much. I believe the problem is in the agent but I check
all my options.

Yes--just try it to see if it works--it very well may. Though Netview's
/usr/OV/bin/snmpget uses v1 PDU's in its communications, all standards
compliant v2 agents are obliged to repond to v1 snmpgets appropriately
with v1 responses. In my experience, this compatibility will get you a
long way. (This incidentally is also why netviews data collections and
thresholds tool can poll many v2 mib elements once you get over the hump
of manually specifying the OID in snmpCol.conf).
The only limitation you might encounter is if you are polling a mib
variable that is of a datatype that is unique to snmpv2 such as
counter64 and such goodies.
In the event NetView's snmpget doesn't get you where you need to go, you
may be interested in the free net-snmp distribution
http://www.net-snmp.org/ which includes an snmpget that you can throw
all sorts of flags to have it poll in v1 v2 or v3 format as you wish.
